Often a lot of good action in the parking lots of my county's hotspots, such as this Great Crested Flycatcher:

Thanks for catching that! I meant to put it in Sandwich Tern.

Very few good photos today.  I'll go with this American Oystercatcher:

Female Kirtland's Warbler from the other day! Best views I've ever had of one, even though the sighting was short lived.

Thank you! Only my 2nd during migration away from their classic breeding grounds.

Yes, another robin photo. Thoughts appreciated. IMO, it's decent-ish, so four. The branch running through the bird is not good, and it's not super sharp. The tail is also probably too close to the edge of the frame, but I actually didn't do any cropping, that's how it was shot.

I don't want to sound mean, and this photo is good for the equipment you have, but it is average.  Solid three stars.  Four stars, in my opinion, is for excellent photos with a few minor flaws but are still worthy of printing/publishing.

I rather like this Cape May Warbler shot I got this morning

There were 2 in Cape May last year but of course they were gone by the time I got there .

From a few days ago. One of my best, I like it even though many things could be better!

I agree, I do like the background though! Nice new profile picture @The Bird Nuts!

Thanks so much - Tawas Point Sp. is truly an incredible place for photographing migrant bird species of all sorts, with lots of migrants concentrated into lots of short, stunted shrubs. I owe my sisters for pointing out this particular individual 😁
